Happy 100th birthday, Beverly Cleary! I have such wonderful memories of reading your books growing up. I remember reading Dear Mr. Henshaw aloud to my mom one summer when I was learning to read. I remember a teacher reading Ralph S. Mouse to the class. But mostly I remember Beezus and Ramona… My favorite!

In honor of this milestone birthday, I thought it would be nice to get some name inspiration from Beverly Cleary’s wonderful books. Here are some great name options:

• BEATRICE -aka Beezus
• HENRY
• LEIGH
• MAGGIE
• OTIS
• RAMONA – this is my favorite of all the names- it’s unique, a little quirky, and so sweet

Bonus pet name – RIBSY – I bet there are more than a few pets who’ve been named after Ribsy over the years 🙂
